I would  like to write some words about  affective domains. Important feelings for me are   self-esteem and risk-taking. They  connected to each other.  Risk- taking is an important characteristic of successful learning of a second language learning.  I didn’t  use to take risk, but now  I think I was not right. We should try to do something  useful for us , must to take  a  risk  because  if  you don’t  do that, you will unhappy.  Another emotion is  self-esteem. It depends on us. It expresses  an attitude of approval or disapproval, successfulness and worthiness. Than less important emotions for me   are  anxiety and prohibition.  Of course, it’s normal to feel emotions of apprehension, because we are learning a foreign  language. We can afraid of  troubles at first time of learning. Next feeling is inhibition.  It protects language ego.  Next  emotions  are  empathy and  extroversion, which included in affective domains. Empathy is useful for us, future  teachers. We should understand what our pupils are feeling. We must help them if it is necessary for them. And what about extroversion or introversion. I like to communicate, but I think I am an  introvert.

   I might feel a sense of a second ego developing within me,  since I  started to  study at the institute. At school my  learning of English was not my main aim, but now I realized in importance of that fact. I am getting used  to learn another   culture, intonation, specific gestures, peculiarities of English people. And part of me  linked with language and his right usage.

   Of course  my tendencies  should change. It  doesn’t  mean, that I must not develop my abilities. I have some problems with pronunciation and it is influencing  on my self-esteem. I am doing my best for solving this problem. When I solve this problem my self-esteem will higher. It is good.

   I am an introvert. I think it is better to be extrovert if you going to be a teacher. I am a sensing student, it’s good. Students  of that type are open, flexible, adaptable to change and new experiences. They are good qualities for future teachers. I am a judger. I try to do my work systematically  and in time. I am a thinker. Analyzing  my work and actions is a good capability for teacher. That is my characteristic. And I think I have some qualities for being good teacher. I will try.

At  school, when I started  to  learn foreign  language, I was intrinsically motivated and now  nothing
 changed. I want to know English very well, because I am going to be a teacher. My knowledge is that I will teach pupils, and I should make my aims become  true.

 

  I want to say that    it’s important   for me to use visual and auditory learning styles. They are dominant for me. Learners, who tend to prefer reading and studying charts, drawings, and other graphic information, have visual input, while learner, who prefer listening to lectures and audiotapes, have auditory input.  I like more visual input than auditory. I can remember information if I see it. It’s easier and you can  remember pictures, diagrams with information you need.

  Some words about our role game. We divided into 2 families. I was one of members of Brown family. My name was Simon. I had father, mother, sister and grandmother. My mother earned twice more than my father. I was a problem   of  my family. I considered  that  college was a boring place and I decided to work. I was not a student any more, I was a saler  and I liked my work. I said about it to my sister and no one else know about it. But then my grandmother heard about my situation and of course said about it to my parents. We talked about my problem and decided than I must study. My father will find second job. I  will  be a manager. And another  Smith family. They had problem too.  The Smith family consist of  father, mother, son and daughter. Their mother  is older than her husband for 2 years and she is the head of the family and she works all time. Father is unemployed.  Their son got married to Caroline, but no one like her. She is always busy and she works hard.  Daughter  is lazy as her father. The problem of this family are relationship between Caroline and other members of family and lazy father and daughter. And their solution was that  lazy father and daughter will do household, because other members do not have time for it.

     When I was a pupil, my approach to learning foreign language was Ausubelian, but now I like combination of  Ausubelian and Rogersian. I think it's important how to teach children. Teachers should be  facilitator, must be genuine and sincere. Teacher need communicate openly with their students. Teaching of foreign language must be effective and have a meaning because  meaningful and rote learning are too parts of useful and effective teaching . But I think rote learning depends on student, of course, students should rote rules, poems but not everything.
  Different teachers of English taught me foreign language. And approaches to teaching were different , of course, it depends on  teacher. Sometimes we didn't have opportunity to emit language. But the last teacher was better than others and I thanks her. We spoke more. If I don't have opportunity to speak, I find ways how to change it. I speak to  my group mate or trying often to use English(with family, friends who don't understand me but then I explain all).
   I like learning English. I learn it for myself. My group mate are allies or competitors, but I like competition. I think If someone knows language better than me, I will try to learn English  and know better than hem. It is kind type of competition.
   I read about 7 types of intelligence of Gardner and in my opinion  linguistic, bodily-kinesthetic , interpersonal,  intrapersonal intelligence  are useful for learning for me . I am sorry, but I have not   been taught with the methods summarized at the end of the chapter.
   

    OK, I have some debts and I would like to change it. First, some words about my pronunciation. It is not so good, but I'm trying to improve it. I'm doing my best. For instance, in my phone I  removed all songs on Russian language, I like to see films with English subtitles. I like  to communicate with  native speakers of English in  social networking.
  Children have some secrets of success, for example again  about pronunciation, they repeat after teacher's words. They don't ask about  word's transcription, articulation and so on. It means that studying can be easier for them than for us. What about their secrets, I could use them at school, but nowadays I don't use secrets like that.
   Small group conversations  are   easier than others  for me, because we communicate to each other, we improve  our skills for discussion, we fill up our vocabulary. It's easier than others because you don't need anything. Only you and your wish to learn foreign language.
   We have some advantages and they are sense of purpose, assiduity, resilience and opportunity to be patient.
